Problem with pull-down menus and remembering option.

[Daniel Lower <daniel_lower@yahoo.com>]

******    message to minivend-users from Daniel Lower <daniel_lower@yahoo.com>     ******

First of all I am running mvend 3.10 on a Linux
Redhat 5.2 box POSIX compliant perl

I have a pull-down menu in my checkout.html form for a user to choose
a city from. Problem is it won't remember the city name between
updates. 

I know this can be done as the country one is remembered between
updates, only trouble is I've looked and looked and I can't see how
the example does it.

I've found this code inside checkout.html
-----------------------
[if base=data
        term="country::shipmodes::[default country US]"
        op="=~" comp="[default mv_shipmode airpost]"]
[then]
        [default name="country" default=US set=1]
        [default name="mv_shipmode" default=airpost_cust set=1]
[/then]
[else]
        [perl values]
                $ship = tag_data('country', 'shipmodes',
$Safe{'values'}{country});
                $out .= $ship;
                $ship =~ s/\s+.*//;
                $Safe{'values'}{mv_shipmode} = $ship;
                return '';
        [/perl]
[/else]
[/if]
-----------------------------------------------

I don't understand it what does. What does tag_data do?

What does "if base=data" mean. I know base is an alias for a table,
database what does data mean.

Thanks for your help in advance.
